A lot of Asian porn uses this sort of homeopathic censorship. Often it’s literally just a thin black line, like a minus sign, placed across the naughtiest bits. Or a Cops- style pixelation effect so subtle that you can still see individual veins.

I’ve wondered before if it’s to skirt a legal requirement, or whether it’s a strange form of politeness, like saying “excuse me” after you burp and blow it in someone’s face.

In Japan, I believe it’s done in order to comply with laws prohibiting “unobstructed view of genitals.” So you start out with bona-fide pixelling and bars and then you keep pushing the envelope for 30 years.

And IIRC porn is entirely illegal in China. So these sex toys would be censored to protect for that.

In other news. Ali Baba is probably the last place I’d buy sex toys. That shits going in your holes. And the fake item filled, no guaranteed its not poisoned retailer is the last place anyone should look for things that are going to have intimate contact with your mucus membranes.
